I hope that you readers will understand that anyone could be a Greek, the rules for becoming a Greek was not that harsh, thus Greeks claiming a 4000 year old ancestry become quite ridiculous.
When they do not even have a 200 year old history.
They are a modern fabrication of the thinkers and philhellenes of the day, which was materialized in absurdum when the "pure" Greek king from Bavaria, King Othon the Hellene started to rule his kingdom.
Which prior to his rule had never existed in history.

Greece is a modern myth.

Modern Greek culture and the modern Greek identity are nothing more than recent political inventions. There are very few historic or genetic links among today's modern Greeks.

This fat vlach is the godfather of the modern "greeks". A true descendant of Pericles, Hercules, Leonidas, diarheeas . Thanks for posting this Jordan. Keep it coming.

rigas would be considered a dangerous radical by modern greeks today. they have gone backwards since his time. he was only talking of greeks as citizens of a new post ottoman empire nation. now they are claiming they are hellenes direct decendents of the dorians and ionnians whoever they may have been.
